Based on record review, observation and interview, the facility failed to provide ordered mobility interventions for Resident #10. This affected one resident (#10) of one resident reviewed for range of motion. The facility census was 112.Findings include:Record review of Resident #10 revealed he was admitted [DATE] and had diagnoses including cerebral infarction, Parkinson's disease, neurocognitive disorder with [NAME] bodies, and dementia. Review of his orders revealed one dated 06/20/24 for the resident to wear a foam sleeve to the left thumb as tolerated, to be removed for skin checks and hygiene. The order was both discontinued and reordered on 03/20/26, with the clarification that it was to be done three times per day. Review of his range of motion assessment dated [DATE] revealed both hands were contracted. Review of his administration records and progress notes revealed no documentation of the foam sleeve being applied or attempted on any date. Review of his point of care charting revealed six instances from 03/20/26 to 03/23/26 where the foam sleeve was documented as reviewed.Observations on 03/23/26 at 8:59 A.M. and 3:08 P.M. revealed Resident #10 did not have any sleeve on his left thumb. His left hand was contracted into a fist with the thumb pressed between the fore and middle fingers. A foam dressing rested on top of the middle finger between it and the thumb. He was not interviewable.Interview with Registered Nurse (RN) #306 on 03/23/26 at 3:21 P.M. revealed Resident #10 was uncomfortable when too much was placed between his fingers and needed the foam dressing there to treat a moisture injury. The goal of the ordered cloth sleeve was to prevent the thumb from pressing down on the middle finger, which was accomplished with the foam dressing, so the facility was leaving it off.Interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) and RN #306 on 03/24/26 at 10:12 A.M. confirmed Resident #10's chart had no specific documentation of the ordered cloth sleeve to the thumb being applied, that it was not present during surveyor observations, and that there were no notes evidencing a rationale for it being not applied. Review of computer charting both before and after the facility's computer changeover on 02/23/26 revealed no record of the cloth sleeve being applied. RN #306 said the documentation of it being reviewed from 03/20/26 to 03/23/26 did not necessarily mean the sleeve was applied. The DON indicated at this time the sleeve application fell under the treatment record under all services rendered documented done three times per day; however, the surveyor confirmed with him at this time that record made no specific mention of the application or tolerance of the sleeve.

F689G · Actual harm, isolated

THE FOLLOWING DEFICIENCY REPRESENTS AN INCIDENT OF PAST NON-COMPLIANCE THAT WAS SUBSEQUENTLY CORRECTED PRIOR TO THIS SURVEY. Based on medical record review, review of hospital records, review of a self-reported incident (SRI), and interview, the facility failed to ensure Resident #54 was safely transferred in a mechanical lift to prevent fall with major injury. Actual harm occurred on 12/15/25 at approximately 1:10 P.M. when Resident #54, who was cognitively impaired and dependent on staff to transfer, sustained a fall from a mechanical lift device during a staff assisted transfer that resulted in a subarachnoid hemorrhage (brain bleed), which the hospital physician noted had the potential to be a serious and life-threatening condition. The facility identified the fall occurred as a result of human error as staff did not ensure the loop of the sling was properly secured prior to lifting Resident #54 out of her chair during the transfer. This affected one resident (#54) out of five records reviewed for falls and transfer assistance. The facility census was 110. Findings include: Review of the medical record for Resident #54 revealed an admission date of 10/23/18 with diagnoses including history of falling, Alzheimer's disease, dementia, hypertension, anxiety, major depressive disorder, age-related physical debility, and abnormal posture. Review of the physician's orders for Resident #54 revealed an order dated 11/21/24 for a mechanical lift for all transfers. Review of the activities of daily living (ADL) care plan revised 12/15/25 revealed Resident #54 demonstrated an impaired ability to complete activity of daily living (ADL) activity without assistance due to Alzheimer's dementia, glaucoma, and osteoarthritis. Interventions included, but were not limited to, mechanical lift for all transfers (revised 12/15/25). Review of a fall plan of care revised 12/15/25 revealed Resident #54 was at-risk for falls due to Alzheimer's dementia, overall debility, confusion, impaired safety awareness, impaired mobility, and poor vision. Interventions included, but were not limited to, maintaining a safe environment (revised 12/15/25), monitor, anticipate, and intervene regarding possible factors that may facilitate a fall (revised 12/15/25), notify physician of all falls and injuries (revised 12/15/25), and complete a fall risk assessment on admission, quarterly, and as needed (revised 12/15/25). Review of the facility's incident report dated 12/15/25 at 1:10 P.M. revealed Resident #54 was lying on the floor on her back with her legs and left upper body over the bottom of the mechanical lift device. Resident #54 had visible blood from an open area to the left side of the forehead with an accompanying lump measuring approximately five centimeters (cm) in circumference. The lift device was removed from underneath Resident #54, the wound to the head was cleaned and dressed, and Resident #54 was assisted to bed by three staff (with no indication as to how this transfer from the floor to the bed occurred). Resident #54 also had deep purple coloration to right lateral pointer finger (second digit). Resident #54 was not able to verbalize whether she was in pain but displayed indicators of pain while on the floor. This incident report failed to mention that Resident #54 fell from a mechanical lift device during a staff assisted transfer. Review of the nurse's note dated 12/15/25 at 3:56 P.M. revealed it was an exact replica of the nurse's summary contained in the incident report dated 12/15/25 at 1:10 P.M. Review of an incident witness statement dated 12/15/25, written by Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) #500 revealed (during the transfer of Resident #54) the left bottom strap was not secured to the hook and Resident #54 fell to the floor before they could grab her. Review of incident witness statement dated 12/15/25, written by Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) #501, revealed as they lifted Resident #54 into the air (to transfer), the strap came unclipped and Resident #54 went forward onto the floor. Review of hospital emergency room documentation dated 12/15/25 revealed Resident #54 arrived to the emergency room on [DATE] at 1:59 P.M. due to falling from a mechanical lift device at a nursing home. The emergency department history of present illness note indicated the mechanical lift was at the highest setting when Resident #54's fall occurred. Resident #54 received a computed tomography (CT) scan of the head while at the emergency room on [DATE] and the results indicated a subarachnoid hemorrhage (brain bleed). The hospital physician documented that this injury had the potential to be a serious and life-threatening condition. Resident #54's family elected not to treat Resident #54 in the hospital and the resident was discharged back to the facility on [DATE]. Review of a facility investigation of self-reported incident (SRI) tracking number 268640, created on 12/15/25 at 2:44 P.M., revealed Resident #54 fell from a mechanical lift during a staff assisted transfer. During the transfer, the left bottom loop of the sling came out of the hook on the mechanical lift, resulting in Resident #54 falling to the floor and hitting her head. Resident #54 was sent to the emergency department, where she was diagnosed with a facial laceration to the left side of the head and a brain bleed. Review of the annual Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #54 was rarely or never understood and had severely impaired cognitive skills for daily decision making. The assessment revealed Resident #54 was dependent (on staff) for chair/bed-to-chair transfers and had experienced one fall with major injury since the previous assessment. On 01/12/26 at 9:01 A.M., an interview with the Administrator and Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) #498 revealed the incident that occurred with Resident #54 (on 12/15/25) was just an unfortunate accident. On 01/12/26 at 12:07 P.M., Resident #54 was observed sitting in a wheelchair in the dining room. Resident #54 was not interviewable. On 01/12/26 at 12:13 P.M., an interview with CNA #500 confirmed Resident #54 fell (on 12/15/25) from the mechanical lift during a staff assisted transfer. CNA #500 stated she and another CNA operated the mechanical lift to transfer Resident #54 from a chair to bed. CNA #500 said after they lifted Resident #54 out of the chair, they went to remove the chair from underneath her and CNA #500 noticed the loop of the sling had come off the hook on the lift device. CNA #500 said before they had time to react, Resident #54 face planted on the floor. CNA #500 further stated after the fall, Resident #54 was assisted back to bed by staff members lifting her off the floor without using a mechanical lift device. CNA #500 said the loop of the sling was not properly secured prior to lifting Resident #54 out of her chair. On 01/12/26 at 12:57 P.M., an interview with CNA #501 confirmed Resident #54 fell to the floor (on 12/15/25) and hit her head while staff were performing a transfer with a mechanical lift. CNA #501 stated they lifted Resident #54 up into the air and the lift sling came unhooked from the clip on the mechanical lift. Resident #54 hit her head and had a cut on her head. On 01/12/26 at 1:29 P.M., an interview with Registered Nurse (RN) #504 verified on 12/15/25 Resident #54 was on the floor at the time of her assessment and she had a laceration to the head, which was cleaned and dressed. On 01/12/26 at 1:35 P.M., an interview with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #503 revealed she was passing medications at the time of Resident #54's fall on 12/15/25 and was notified by a manager of the fall that occurred while the resident was being transferred. Resident #54 was assessed and displayed facial grimacing at the time of the fall. However, Resident #54 was non-verbal and unable to verbalize pain. On 01/12/26 at 2:50 P.M., an interview with the Administrator revealed Resident #54's fall on 12/15/25 was an accident due to human error and not any sort of mechanical issue with the lift device. On 01/12/26 at 3:08 P.M., an interview with the Administrator verified Resident #54 had a brain bleed as a result of the fall from the mechanical lift that occurred on 12/15/25. The Administrator stated she did not think the transfer sling came unhooked from the mechanical lift, further clarifying that she thought CNA #501 did not ensure the sling was hooked securely before beginning the transfer. The Administrator said CNA #501 was talking and possibly distracted during the transfer, stating again that Resident #54's fall was an accident due to human error. On 01/12/26 at 4:34 P.M., an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) revealed Resident #54's fall on 12/15/25 was caused by CNA #501 not double checking the loop was hooked onto the lift device before starting the transfer. Review of the facility's policy titled Procedure for Invacare Lift, dated 07/23/24, revealed two staff were required to operate the lift device and staff were to ensure the sling was hooked to the lift with the hooks facing the outside of the sling or away from the resident. The policy further stated it was the responsibility of the nursing aide to monitor the slings for rips, holes, fraying, or any other concerns with every use. Review of the facility's policy titled Invacare Lift Operating Instructions Policy and Procedure, dated 07/23/24, revealed the lifts were used to aide in the transfer of a resident who was not able to bear weight and a physician's order was required. Review of the facility's policy titled Fall Prevention Policy and Procedure, dated 07/22/24, revealed if a fall occurs, an incident report must be completed by the nurse, the physician and family would be notified in a timely manner, the incident would be discussed during morning report the following day, and interventions would be put in place as indicated. If the recommended intervention involves addressing an employees work performance, this will be referred to the staff development nurse for education or to the ADON for discipline as needed. The deficiency was corrected on 12/17/25 when the facility implemented the following corrective actions: On 12/15/25, Resident #54's physician was notified of the incident and new orders were given to transfer the resident to the hospital.On 12/15/25 by 1:59 P.M., Resident #54 was transferred to the emergency room for further evaluation and treatment.On 12/15/25, the mechanical lift device and transfer sling used at the time of the incident with Resident #54 were inspected by the facility's Maintenance Director and Assistant Director of Nursing for functionality with no concerns identified.On 12/15/25, the Administrator sent a mass text message to 62 Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs), 29 Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs), and 17 Registered Nurses (RNs) educating them on the need for two people for mechanical lift transfers and the need to monitor the resident and the equipment throughout the transfer process.On 12/15/25, Staff Educator #499 (who was also a LPN) educated 45 CNAs (out of 60 CNAs total) on the protocol for mechanical lift transfers and required a return demonstration to indicate understanding. The remaining 15 CNAs were educated by phone, have not worked in the facility since the incident, and would be required to perform a return demonstration upon arrival for their next scheduled shift at the facility.On 12/15/25 and 12/16/25, all mechanical lift devices and transfer slings throughout the facility were inspected by the facility's Maintenance Director and Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) #498 for functionality and disposed of any slings with visible wear and tear. All mechanical lifts were functioning properly.On 12/17/25, Staff Educator #499 educated 27 LPNs (out of 30 LPNs total) and 12 RNs (out of 15 RNs total) on the protocol for mechanical lift transfers and required a return demonstration to indicate understanding. Two of the remaining three LPNs and two of the remaining three RNs were educated by phone, have not worked in the facility since the incident, and will be required to perform a return demonstration upon arrival for their next scheduled shift at the facility. The other one LPN and one RN were on medical leave and will receive education upon returning to work.On 12/17/25, the Administrator ordered 15 new transfer slings in varying sizes for the mechanical lift devices.The facility added this incident and staff education to Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement (QAPI) for continued monitoring.Mechanical lifts would continue to be routinely inspected for functionality every six months. This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number 2712739.

Interviews on 02/08/21 at 9:00 A.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) and the Administrator revealed Resident #1 was not wearing a seat belt while being transported on 01/29/21 by STNA #300 for a medical appointment. The resident's wheelchair was secured to the floor but the seat belt that wrapped over the wheelchair and attached to a mount on the floor was not in place. STNA #300 initially reported on 01/29/21 (the date of the accident) that Resident #1 was secured with a seatbelt when she had to brake suddenly to avoid a car that pulled out in front of the van. When questioned by the DON and the Administrator she admitted she did not secure the seatbelt around Resident #1 due to his size and her belief she would not be able to fasten it to the floor. STNA #300 was immediately suspended and later terminated on 02/03/21.

There was a long seatbelt mounted to the left of the space for the wheelchair which could be extended across the van and fastened to a knob protruding from the floor. The seatbelt appeared to be long enough that it could reasonably fit around a large resident and a wheelchair. Interview on 02/08/21 at 1:05 P.M. with STNA #300 revealed she did secure the wheelchair wheels to the floor but did not fasten a seatbelt around Resident #1 when she transported him on 01/29/21. She stated she did not think the seatbelt would reach due to his size. Review of the investigation for Self Reported Incident (SRI) dated 01/29/21 revealed STNA #300 was suspended pending investigation on 02/01/21 and terminated on 02/03/21. STNA #300 originally told Registered Nurse (RN) #200 on 01/29/21 Resident #1 was wearing a seatbelt, but was leaning forward when she had to stop suddenly, and he hit his head on the transport chair behind the driver's seat. On 02/01/21, STNA #300 admitted she did not place the seatbelt around the resident during transport due to his size and her belief the seatbelt would not stretch far enough to fasten it to the floor. The facility substantiated STNA #300's actions as neglect. This deficiency substantiates Complaint Number OH 857.
